“Smash!”
Dan kick broke the glass of a window. Then, he jumped out of the window with Fugaku and left Hokage’s building.
This was an unusual path.
If the fourth generation Raikage, who also liked to break through windows, saw this, he would definitely call him an expert and call him a confidant.
Shisui did not follow the two of them, but stayed where he was.
Because he still had something to say to Sandaime.
The people in the conference room felt that it was inconceivable that he left so calmly, and they could not help but feel emotional.
Beating Lord Hokage’s son, tearing down the conference room, killing several Root Ninjas, making Danzo fly out of Hokage building, and even provoking Sandaime in public…
Such a person actually left without a scratch.
There was no other reason.
One word, strong.
Uchiha Dan, so strong that Sandaime had no choice but to endure.
Strength was always the best pass in the Ninja World.
After today.
In many people’s hearts, he was no longer Uchiha’s number one expert, but… Konoha’s number one expert.
Sandaime also knew that he had lost face today.
But as long as he could take back the police department, the final winner would still be the village.
For the sake of Konoha’s peace, what was this little bit of face? It was nothing worth mentioning.
In fact.
From the day he became a politician, he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had abandoned his so-called face.
For the benefit of the village, he could compromise and make people talk behind his back. It did not matter.
This was the tolerance of Hokage.
Sandaime stood up and said tiredly to the group of Clan leader,
“I will make arrangements for the replacement of the police department. Everyone, go back first. Thank you for your hard work.”
After that, he made a gesture and asked the group of Anbu to leave.
Then.
Clan leader and their guards left one after another and walked out of Hokage building.
“Hyuga Clan leader, congratulations.”
As soon as he came out, a small Clan leader walked up to Hyuga Hiashi and tried to please him. “Even the children in the village know that we, Konoha, have two great Dojutsu lineage families. Except for Uchiha, it is Hyuga. Now that Uchiha is unable to manage the police department, there is no need to think about this job. Only Hyuga’s family is qualified.”
Konoha once had two super big families, Senju and Uchiha.
Since the death of Senju, Hyuga’s family had come back and gradually became comparable to Uchiha, becoming the new two big families of Konoha.
As for whether Hyuga touched the porcelain or not, they had benefited from Uchiha’s popularity, but they did not have the strength to rival him.
That is a matter of opinion.
In the face of flattery.
“Please don’t say that.”
Hyuga Hiashi waved his hand and said lightly, “Hyuga’s clan is not interested in the police department. Everything will be according to Lord Hokage’s arrangements.”
Although he pretended to be reserved, he was already tempted.
On the other side.
Clan leader of the three families of Ino-Shika-Cho gathered together.
Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi, as the trump card combination of Konoha, had always been tight and inseparable.
Although they were called three different families, they could actually be considered one giant family.
The alliance of the three families surpassed Uchiha and Hyuga.
Therefore, they naturally had some desire to compete with Hyuga’s clan for the police department.
As for the Clan leader of other small and medium ninja clans, they either joined together to discuss, or actively attached themselves to big clans like Hyuga, thinking that when they carve up the police department, they can share some benefits.
Just like that, all of Clan leader left in groups of three or five, surrounded by a group of guards, each with their own thoughts.
In Hokage’s office.
Knock knock.
After knocking on the door, Shisui walked in.
Sandaime quickly got up and went up to him. He asked with a serious face, “Shisui, what happened to your eyes? Are they serious?”
Shisui silently removed the bandage, revealing two pitch-black holes.
It was a shocking sight.
Seeing this, Sandaime couldn’t help but be shocked and angry. He shouted, “Who did this? Was it Uchiha Dan?”
Shisui had been personally raised by him and treated as his grandson.
Now that his grandson’s eyes had been dug out, how could Sandaime not be angry?
However.
Shisui begged Sandaime,
“Lord Hokage, please do not attack Dan. Not only is his strength unfathomable, but his position in the clan is also faintly higher than Clan leader. If something happens decisively, Uchiha will definitely have a war with the village. At that time, all our efforts for peace will be wasted!”
When Sandaime heard this, he could not help but be moved.
Shisui actually spoke for the enemy who had dug out his eyes. In his heart, he did not underestimate me at all, only the peace of the entire village.
The will of fire, which was dedicated to the utmost, was vividly reflected in this sixteen-year-old youth.
Sandaime pondered for a moment and asked Shisui a question.
“Shisui, you said that giving up on the police department was Dan’s idea. What do you think his intention is?”
Shisui had been thinking about this since yesterday, so he quickly gave his speculation.
“I think Dan also doesn’t want to see Uchiha and the village suffer. His ultimate goal might be… to lead Uchiha clan and leave Konoha.”
Leave?
When Sandaime heard this, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility.
Uchiha had long since given up on the village, and now that they had even given up on the police department, what was the point of staying in Konoha?
Did this clan want to imitate the former Uzumaki Clan and establish their own sect?
With Uchiha’s strength, it was not impossible.
To Konoha, Uchiha was a double-edged sword.
Although it would be a pity to lose the power of this clan, it was equivalent to sending away a bomb that could explode at any time.
If Uchiha and Konoha could break up peacefully, it might be a good ending…
For a time, Sandaime thought a lot.
Finally, he solemnly promised Shisui,
“I promise you. I will withdraw most of the people who are monitoring Uchiha clan. As long as they don’t do anything out of line, this old man will turn a blind eye to them.”
When Shisui heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He immediately knelt down on one knee and said from the bottom of his heart,
“Lord Hokage is wise!”
“Quickly get up, good child.”
Sandaime hurriedly stretched out his hands and helped Shisui up.
After he asked Shisui about his well-being for a while, he told the latter to go back and have a good rest. There was no need to worry about Anbu’s task.
Shisui knew that this was Lord Hokage’s care for him.
He also knew that after losing Sharingan, he was now just an ordinary Jonin. For Anbu, who was full of experts, it was indeed dispensable.
This could not help but make Shisui a little disappointed.
Fortunately.
His mission had finally been completed. In the future, he would no longer have to be stuck between his family and the village.
Also.
Itachi, who had always been regarded as his younger brother, no longer had to bear the same confusion and pain as him.
Thinking of this.
Shisui took out an envelope and handed it to Sandaime with both hands. “This is what Clan leader transferred to you on my behalf.”
After that, he bowed deeply to Sandaime and left the office.
What a pity.
Sandaime looked at Shisui’s departing back and felt sorry.
Such a good seedling had his eyes dug out just like that and was crippled.
He sighed and sat back in his chair to open the envelope. After seeing the contents inside, he could not help but feel a little surprised.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door was pushed open and Danzo walked in with a gloomy face.
He was injured. Apart from his right arm and right face that was already wrapped in bandages, his left arm and abdomen were also wrapped in bandages.
He was about to become a living mummy.
All of this was thanks to Uchiha Dan.
“Hiruzen, immediately arrange for someone to kill Uchiha Dan! I have a few experts on my side, I can lend them to you.” Danzo got straight to the point.
This time.
Not only did he lose a few of his subordinates, but he also made a fool of himself in public. It was a great humiliation he had never experienced in his life.
However, Sandaime shook his head and ordered in an unquestionable tough tone,
“Let’s put Uchiha Dan’s decision aside for now. Let’s talk about it after the handover of the police department is completed.”
Regarding the matter of Danzo being defeated, he, Hokage, was actually happy to see it happen.
This was because Danzo had become more and more excessive recently. He even wanted to join hands with Koharu and Homura to shake his power.
Did he really think that he didn’t know?
Sandaime even wanted to thank Dan that teach Danzo a lesson for him.
Sitting in the position of Hokage, he had to master the art of checks and balances, so that the people under him could pin each other down and maintain the harmony of the village.
Unfortunately, such a person like Uchiha Dan was destined to not be used by Sandaime.
Otherwise.
He would be able to replace Shisui and use him as a chess piece to keep Danzo in check.
Danzo was still unwilling to give up.
“Hiruzen, don’t forget what the old master said. Uchiha is a born evil clan. You can’t believe them! Now that Shisui has become a cripple, I suggest that Itachi be promoted to a sub-captain so that he can move more freely, and then help us monitor Uchiha clan like the previous Shisui!”
It could be seen that Danzo was still coveting Uchiha Itachi, trying to take him under his command.
Sandaime responded to this.
“See for yourself.”
He directly threw the letter in his hand on the desk.
Danzo picked it up and found that it was Itachi’s resignation letter personally written by Uchiha Fugaku.
“Itachi is a spy that Uchiha planted into Anbu. His purpose is to monitor the movements of the village. Now that Itachi has resigned, it means that the clan really has no ambition.”
Sandaime had sharp eyes and had seen through everything.
Danzo still wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed it back.
Alright.
This time, it would end here for the time being.
For Danzo, he had single-handedly planned this prison riot and forced Uchiha to hand over the police department. No matter what, he was the greatest contributor.
During this process, Koharu and Homura had also been roped in by him. In the future, they would support him even more.
It was not unacceptable.
Knowing that he could not take revenge on Uchiha Dan, Danzo quickly turned his attention to the police department that was about to be in his hands.
“What about the police department? Who are you going to hand it to?”
“I am still thinking about it. You should go back and think about it. Call Koharu and Homura over in two days. We will have a meeting again and settle this matter.”
Sandaime slowly tapped the table with his finger and said so.
